A novel approach to building realtime HTTP APIs through the use of a generalized proxy component. Finally, API development can be as straightforward as Socket.io! Introduces the Generic Realtime Intermediary Protocol ("GRIP") for backend interfacing, along with open source reference implementations (Pushpin, Pollymer).

The talk focuses primarily on HTTP API design and server-side development, although client/browser aspects are also covered.
